AEGENTINE BEAUTY - Beautiful city, we stayed in a USINA STUDIO BY FMA temporary rental apartment, super clean, with everything you need for a good stay, 4 blocks from downtown. We toured places with unforgettable scenery, from the city tour to excursions that are one more beautiful than another

Excellent - The city tour of the city of Salta was excellent, we had the pleasure of having Santiago Davalos as our guide. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and taking us to our beautiful school memories where we truly studied history, our roots, our beautiful homeland; in addition to giving it your personal touches with a charming recitation and a touch of humor. Ideal to start the tour of the beautiful Salta, thank you!

Beauty everywhere - Did the Salta to Cachi to Cafayate to Salta loop. Lots of driving through gorgeous country. Dinner at Bistro de Cachi was excellent. Loved Cafayate and Porvenir Winery. Salta has a lively downtown that we enjoyed.

Jump the pretty one!!!! - Generally I try to eat typical local foods. The empanadas are exquisite. Salteño nougat dessert. Apart from the classic excursions. A tour of the San Miguel market, where you can find a variety of spices. Reasonable prices. Plaza San Martin Fair where you can find souvenirs at a good price. Wear comfortable clothes because there is a lot of walking. Waterproof jacket because the weather in December is rainy.

Salta #23 - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave a keen historical perspective of every site we visited. Names, dates, and locations were explained without any difficulty. Highly recommend this tour. 😎

Great guide, not so great organization - Gabriella was a very nice guide. She was the first one who knew about some of the trees, which are amazing. You could ask her anything. She does the tour in both English and Spanish at the same time, so don’t be confused when at first nobody speaks English. Gabriella’s English is very good. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is, that I booked the tour to start at 4:30 on TripAdvisor. We then got a text the day prior to be in the lobby at 3. And another text from a different number to be in the lobby at 4. I had to reach out to the companies emergency phone number to find out the tour actually starts at 3pm. I just don’t think that’s great. What if we had had plans and were counting on it to start at 4:30 like it was advertised? Anyway, other than that it was a good tour. Salta is alright. Not grand and clean like Buenos Aires, but it’s nice to see.

Be cautious about the advertised language of the tour! - The tour guide and the driver were both excellent, however, we purchased this tour because it said that it was in English. This was not the case. Although the tour guide made great effort to speak first in Spanish and the English, that is not what we signed up for. It was impossible to understand questions from the group, communicate with other group members (because we were the only English-speaking people on the tour) or get a full understanding of what was being said. We would have booked a different tour if we had known that it was not exclusively in English. I would suggest that you make that clear in the future because when we purchased the tour, it clearly said that it was in English - not Spanish and English.

Pleasant city with charming walks (Cachi and Cafayate). - Don't go to enjoy New Year's Eve, the city is deserted, good restaurants are closed. Those that open are overcrowded. We left the fantastic hotel (Hotel de la Plaza) at 22:00 and had to settle for a very simple restaurant that accommodated us together with another couple. I recommend Charrua restaurant that didn't open on New Year's Eve. The cable car didn't work on the first day, the cloud train would only work on the 6th, leaving from SAN Antônio de Los Cobres. The Salta match no longer exists.

Good to regular - Very quickly there were no stops in the serro very little time to be there. They don't give you time for the cable car. Gabriela's guide. Well, clearly it's the times they give her, but very kind.

Not worth the time - Way too much time in the sightseeing van; would have enjoyed more of a walking tour. But then again, there really isn’t much to see in the city of Salta: it’s really more of the larger hub as a base to go see other smaller towns in the province.
